No problem to get it work you can check the tutoriel you should be able to get it to work

Things changed installed MacOS Sierra and installed two GTX 1080 waiting for webdriver !

will update the post for a fully working and easy way to install Sierra
also patch for NVMe is out so no more sleep issue and NVMeGeneric kext required.

Stay tuned

thank you for the very good instructions... Very nice build.. !!

I have been waiting to pull the trigger on a hackintosh..( currently running a 2011 21.5 imac ), kinda waiting to get the biggest bang for the buck so to speak.. This is very close to the build I have planned..

I would like to use the Asus Formula Viii motherboard, 6700k processor , 64 gig of crucial ram.. and would like to run dual 1070 gtx in sli.. I will be using it as a dual boot system osx and windows 10 ( for gaming ) .. could I still use the 1070 in sli in osx ( no gaming.. just web browsing.. etc.. ) and game in windows10 ? if not I may have to buy 2x 970 gtx..


Thank you

Be advised that Nvidia has yet to release the Mac drivers for the GTX 1000 graphics cards. Additionally, OS X (macOS) does not support SLI.

Thank you for the heads up..

I have a kinda weird Question...

Would it be possible to use the onboard graphics for Mac OS ( El Capitan or Sierra ) .. and use the GPU/s for windows.. If so I could purchase 2x gtx 1070 for windows.
I hate to spend basically the same amount for older technology ( 2x 970 sli vs 2x 1070 sli ) . then I could simply wait and see if 1000 series drivers are released..

I don't game in Mac OS .. so nothing terribly graphic intensive.. but would like to in Windows..

I believe i can select input source on the monitor..
is a 3440 x 1440 34inch monitor..

Thank you .....

You sure can, you just switch the input on your monitor and set windows to only show on a single display (whichever is connected to the graphics card)

Hey BlackHack13, could you please provide your Clover config? I'm using the same board as you but still getting the graphical glitches that you seem to have fixed.

On El Capitan you mean or sierra ?

Sierra - I got the graphics fix working now but no matter what I try, the hdmi audio still isn't working. At one point I had the audio devices all showing up but that disappeared as I was fixing some kernel crashes.

It'd be really useful if I could to see your clover config and/or the kexts/SSDT's please so I can figured out where I'm going wrong.

yeah no problem i am at work right now but as soon as i am home will send you the files and also update this post so other user can get it to work too
